The front desk staff was good. the location is great. It is close to anything around dc. the decor is very comfortable and warm. It had a home feel and not like the modern hotel feel.

The hotel lobby is really a cafe. The reception desk is hard to tell from a cafe reception. the restaurant did not look appealing to this non-millennial. the rooms were small.
